Jerusalem -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Israeli soldiers and several dozen Palestinians clashed in Jerusalem Saturday , exchanging volleys of rocks , tear gas , fire bombs , and rubber bullets , according to eyewitnesses and the Israeli military .

Hundreds of Palestinians gathered in the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of al-Ram for the burial of 25-year-old Palestinian man , Talat Ramiyeh .

He was shot the day before by Israeli security forces in a protest opposing Israeli police entering the compound that houses Jerusalem 's al-Aqsa mosque , Palestinian officials said .

After the funeral , about 60 Palestinians began throwing rocks and fire bombs at an Israeli military position near the entrance to the neighborhood , an Israeli military spokesman said . The soldiers responded with tear gas and rubber bullets .

There was no immediate word of injuries .

The death of Ramiyeh prompted a condemnation from Palestinian Authority Prime Minster Salam Fayyad . He implored the the international community to hold Israel responsible for what he described as the `` concerted use of violence against peaceful protests . ''

The military spokesman said Ramiyeh 's death was still under investigation , but a preliminary report suggested that he had been engaged in a `` violent riot '' and aimed fireworks at Israeli security personnel who responded with live fire . The investigation suggested that Ramiyeh was hit in the shoulder , the spokesman said .

Saturday 's protest marked the latest in a series of disturbances connected to the compound that holds Jerusalem 's al-Aqsa mosque .

During the past week , clashes around the sensitive religious site known the Noble Sanctuary to Muslims and the Temple Mount to Jews erupted on multiple occasions amid rumors that Israeli authorities were allowing right-wing Jewish activists access to the compound in order to stoke tensions with Palestinians .

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld denied the reports and said access to the location was being administered under normal guidelines .
